I had almost abondoned blogging. So had I with fullhyd. But I started blogging somewhere else again earlier in August this year, after about 2 years . That blog is very general in character.
I wish to start writing the same old stuff that i used to in 2005-06. & very casually I googled this blog & felt happy to find it too. I read a couple of my old posts and felt like writing here again. But, do iIremember my username & password? Surprisingly after two attempts, I seem to be successful. My memory seems to be in good condition.
I had made an attempt to start writing here once in 2007 too but could not hang on to it. So in all its true sense, this is my second comeback.But the new feel & look of this site makes me want to write here. Hope this attempt doesn`t loose its vigour any sooner.
I have to mention here, a very important role that this site has played in my life. Back in 2005 when I was blogging here, I used to have a regular visitor to my posts. She used to like my writing very much. We exchanged emails, bought each others coffees, vodkas and then one day exchanged vows.
Such is the might & glory of this website & this blog. Lemme see if I can return to my innocent musings here again. !!!

When you break your own rules
Posted by Shawshank | Category [ General ]Comments (3) | Trackbacks (0)
This note might not interest people who do not live by rules. I do not live by rules either. But for this something or that another we all have certain rules which we would not want to break. Like Carrie always has a rule that she will not sleep with any guy on her first date with him. Betty has certain rules about men and so does Lamina. Chris never wanted to be involved with any girl physically until he was sure that he is going to marry her. That was his rule. All of us have some rules, some of us know them and some know them only subconsciously.

All is fine now. But sure as many of us have rules, that many of us have broken them at some point or another. Do we break them on purpose or are we cornered by our deluges to break them? Going by things that have been happening of late, looks like there is an eternal paradox and a terminal curse to mankind. That whether ourselves or due to certain series of occurring which some of us call fate, we keep breaking our rules as if it

I suddenly seem to wake up to the fact that most of my friends are either getting married or involved enough with someone to get married soon .A sudden call from an old friend of mine yesterday put me in total frenzy. This guy works in Mumbai. On the face of planet earth, I would presume that he would be the last guy who would get into marriage and love and all that so soon. He is one of those who would rather fall in bed than in love. And how soon?

The history of man as I feel is a cauldron of audacities,cowardice,wisdom, foolishness, righteousness, greed of a few handfuls of people. Some known some unknown. The history of this planet since the time Adam ate the apple has been a function of power. The need of power. The right to power. The survival of the powerful. These handful of mortals made it sure that this is the only cause for all that is around us.

God knows what India would be like if vasco had not discovered it for the west.Indians probably wouldn`t have been oppressed by the British.I wonder what kind of life the barman in cuba would be leading if that country wasn`t taken up my Fidel castro.The serb farmer would probably have grown wheat instead of mines if it weren`t for Slobodan Milosevic and his Yougaslavian National Army.Che Guvera was killed else argentina wouldn`t have been a thrid world country.If Min ho wasn`t influenced by Marx, China would probably be the biggest super power long long back.But for Hitler, we wouldn`t know about two towns in Japan
